Seems like a fair number of us ride and own motorcycles, so I thought I'd start a general thread about bikes, stuff for bikes, why you like bikes, how you came to them, ad nauseum -- no powder yet, so......
I've been riding since I was 9 in 1969. Primarily dirt bikes, but a smattering of street bikes, too.
Bookending things:
Current bike: Brand new Yamaha Tenere 700. Plan to use primarily to explore back roads in my new back yard.
First bike: Sears Allstate (Steyr-Daimler-Puch) 60 cc scooter. Bought for $50 and learned about clutches, two-stroke engines, and ordering parts from a Sears Catalog Store!
